- Description
- Notice of Intent for Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, purchase, and installation of Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls components for the construction of a Fire Station Headquarters and an Air Passenger Terminal at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lincoln, Massachusetts.� The existing base-wide Utilities Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) on Hanscom�Air Force Base (HAFB) is a Johnson Controls Metasys system. All Air Force buildings on HAFB with a building control system or a utility control system are connected and integrated into the base-wide Johnson Controls Metasys system which is located in Building 1810 on HAFB. The base-wide UMCS allows Hanscom personnel to remotely monitor, manage, access, and control HVAC, utilities, and other building systems for each building on HAFB connected to the base-wide system. The existing Johnson Controls Metasys system used on HAFB operates based on a proprietary control system and software. The Johnson Controls Network Automation Engine allows open protocol field devices to connect to the proprietary Metasys control system without overloading or crashing the system. Due to the proprietary nature of the Metasys control system and software, no other vendor provides a device that can connect to the Metasys control system and allow the connection and control of open protocol field devices (e.g., non-proprietary smart meters). Gateway devices from other vendors can�t communicate with and take commands from the proprietary software in the Johnson Controls Metasys system. If the Johnson Controls Metasys is not sole sourced, the HVAC Controls for the Fire Station and Air Passenger Terminal at the Hanscom Air Force Base may not be connected to the campus-wide system, requiring the installation of a standalone system and standalone user interfaces where the system is being monitored and controlled. An additional service contract would be required to maintain and repair the standalone system. This standalone system would complicate the customer�s ability to monitor and control the HVAC as well as the ability to service these systems. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.� It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability of other qualified sources that can meet the requirements identified above and inherent with the referenced Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this notice of intent.� All responses received within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent will be considered by the Government.� A determination by the Government to require the brand name for the Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to allow alternate system manufacturers. Submit responses within 15 days of the posting of this notice of intent via email to:�Elizabeth.k.glasgow@usace.army.mil (list W912WJ24X0019� Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls in the subject line of the email).
